In Spain the bank charges you for this service (you can negotiate the amount). There is no commision for cash, but you must fill a form to tell the taxman that you are getting a more than given amount (3000€ if I remember well)

Money and accounting. Not to deep, just understand the difference between opex, capex, and what implies to your job. This will make you able to speak with the business inthwir own term.

File compressors were non-free some time ago (Zip, ARJ, etc.) or at least shareware. I guess UPX executable compressor was also non-free. Other non-free category are media encoders/decoders (with patents behind). The other cmdline tool

I always thought 'free tier' was meant to make development and testing feasible without incurring big charges. Having a big free tier is just a growth hacking technique, and it worked: people know the product and developeed integr

I was 100% against nuclear because I fear the risks. But I believe it is a tool we must use. Most nuclear plants have been working 20-40 years. We need new designs for safer, cheaper plants, and a viable storage for nuclear waste.

I firmly believe the only way to convince _all_ countries to stop emissions is to add an import tariff to goods coming from countries that don't act with the same effort as you. What if they tax me back in revenge (hello donald)? just

Serverless, like all embedded databases ;-) In the sense you don't need to provision an additional piece of infrastructure to power your application :-)

There is a lot of buzz now in the no-code space and this might be a product for that target. In order to succeed, you must have a delightful user experience. Probably the best way to accomplish that would bw finding a niche market for it. B

As a ex-tableau user, the app looks good. Quite clean. I missed a Big Query integration since I have no data on Google sheets to give it a try. Probably AWS Redshift would be a great addition ;-) Great job, btw!

I guess it depends on where you're located and your budget. I've had a very good experience with Thinkpads. T480 with Ubuntu was a pleasure to use and you can get it almost anywhere in the world. Always get a pro-grade laptop,

I believe admin panels are the MVP implementation for this idea. Almost every business software is a select/insert/update. If you can do it over a view, or you have a trigger on insert/update/delete you are able to have

The work made by this guy is incredible. Apache arrow commiter (Datafusion), wrote SQL crate, BAllista (think spark+k8s-java+rust), and now this. I feel too much envy.

My heart says OpenBSD; but I belive it is better to use Linux in a company (not yours) usually because you can get more people to use/embrace Linux because it is commodity. If you are building your own product/service; then Open
